I pre-ordered this too on the day they started taking orders. I love their stuff. They have a cool website too!

After finding out yesterday via the UPS tracking number that the DVDs
were delivered to us on Dec 2nd ...or at least placed on 'our' porch.
We were irritated at ourselves for not having them yet.
What WAS wrong with us, not having them like that? How dare
we not have them after UPS drove all the way to 'our' porch
and placed the boxes carefully there.

When we contacted our neighbors they said exactly what we expected,
"When we got these boxes we said...who the **** is Daniel Amos?
And why do we have them? Why do we have them?"

But alas, the DVDs are here now.... we just need the covers
to arrive. Now we will sigh a collective sigh of relief. And flush all those
miserable thoughts of sending a claim to UPS and hoping they reimburse
us soon so we could reprint the DVDs before Christmas out of our
inadequate brains.

Last year, during a major snow storm, I was wondering why my car was moving so sluggishly. A mile farther down the road, the car started smoking and shaking. For miles in, I decided maybe disengaging the emergency brake might be wise.

Yeah.... we missed them because they delivered them to a neighbor's
porch a few days ago and we had no idea.

There is three houses on our street and they always choose the wrong
one. Thier track record is actually worse than if they chose the house
randomly. It's crazy.

There is a number on our house, there is a number on a sign in the yard,
and they drop the boxes on the neighbor's porch...

I had dreams the last two days of some weird guy getting the 1000 DVDs
and ebaying them or trashing them and we having to reprint them because
they never showed up at our house.

Murphy's Law... I come to expect it now. You can always count
on something going wrong. Never fails. We are never dissapointed,
by ol' Murphy.

But... I actually scanned through the disc and didin't see any errors
and the audio was better than I expected. It's an old tape. But
it's still a lot of fun.
We tried to do as little editing as possible, we edited some talking out to
fit more songs on. And there is no menu screen, we would of had to cut
songs for it and we figured the menu was less important.
The master tapes were two umatic/betacam type professional tapes,
with a couple nasty glitches in a couple songs and some loud buzzing.
I think we removed the buzzing and glitches pretty well. The video is
still a little rough, but basically because of the 1985 equipment I believe.
We had originally tried to adjust the color and contrast some, but after
watching the effect...we removed the adjustments. There was just no
way of knowing how those adjustments would look on various TVs.
There is a good selection of songs from the Alarma Chronicles, plus
the concert 'punk' version of "I Love You #19". I think everyone will enjoy
it and appreciate the historical DA show.
